Subject: [PATCH 7/7] tools/sched_ext: scx_qmap: Make debug output quieter by default
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2025 15:32:46 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250922013246.275031-7-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250922013246.275031-1-tj@kernel.org>
scx_qmap currently outputs verbose debug messages including cgroup operations
and CPU online/offline events by default, which can be noisy during normal
operation. While the existing -P option controls DSQ dumps and event
statistics, there's no way to suppress the other debug messages.
Split the debug output controls to make scx_qmap quieter by default. The -P
option continues to control DSQ dumps and event statistics
(print_dsqs_and_events), while a new -M option controls debug messages like
cgroup operations and CPU events (print_msgs). This allows users to run
scx_qmap with minimal output and selectively enable debug information as
needed.
